I can't figure out why Miami has a low curve, UM graduates are competing with UF grads who have a 3.2 curve. You would think UM would want to help their students compete in the work force, not hinder them.

true.. but that is why there are class rankings, i guess.. rank is more important than GPA

FLA-Matt, i think you are somewhat mistaken about salaries. just look at nalpdirectory.com or any other similar site and you can see that all of the big firms in miami pay $105,000+ starting. if you want to go into govt or public interest of course you wont make near that, but saying that people are delusional if they expect six figures is just wrong. in addition, all of the big firms do oci at miami, so if you do well, you will get a job at one of them.

Those firms don't hire that many every year, so if you do great at Miami you're going to get hired, but most Miami grads don't land those jobs. But, you're still going to make 70-80s working in the S.Florida market due to the cost of living, and thats better than making 40k even in cheaper areas of the country IMHO. BTW, Steel, Hector and Davis broke up last week, the firm won't exist much longer, lots and lots of internal problems.

My friend and I were driving home from the bar tonight. She had two drinks and I had one. She pulls over on the side of the road and tells me she is too drunk to drive (she thinks someone may have slipped something in her drink). Since I was fine, I got behind the wheel. On the way home we were going through a subdivision to take a shortcut, and we got pulled over. Turns out there was a home invasion in that neighborhood and the cops wanted to make sure we werent the robbers. He asked if we had anything to drink. My friend, sitting the passenger seat, points to me and says "I'm driving, and she's drinking". Luckily he understood her drunkin dyslexic comment and that she was wasted and I was the DD for the night. He told us to drive safely and said my friend should take two aspirin before she goes to sleep. :O)

This is going to be a crazy summer before the HELL begins August 15...
